Usually, I spell things right the first time. But four or five times in the past week, I've written "while" in place of "well." Always at the start of a sentence, always followed by a comma. I don't know what leads me to replace this space-filler with a temporal signifier, but I do. I can't recall ever having done it before this week, but it keeps happening.
It's an odd slip, it is. And isn't that a part of what life is made of.
